  2. (Serbia) a Croat

Usage notes

Likely from the fact Croatia looks like a elongated croissant, as well as kroasan being similar in pronunciation to kroat, in itself an earlier slur for particularly Westernized Croats who were perceived as traitors of Slavdom (especially when also being intolerant of Serbs).
